Future Ready: The Power of Simulations in Higher Education
Erasmus+ Staff Week 9–14 December 2024
Incorporating simulations into higher education can significantly enrich the learning experience by preparing students more effectively for their future careers. Simulations often present complex challenges that require students to think critically and make decisions, thus enhancing their problem-solving abilities.
Simulations also encourage teamwork, helping students develop collaboration and communication skills essential for professional success.
Let’s dive into simulations and discover the possibilities for every study programme!
During the Erasmus+ Staff Week, we will offer the possibility to visit the RSU Medical Education Technology Centre to look at simulation classes for health care specialists, take part in a simulated press conference, observe a criminal laboratory, discuss the AI potential and challenges at university.
